Valentino Park and the Medieval Village

A day in the green heart of Turin, looking for a bit of cool: it’s 35°C. It is built on the left bank of the Po and you can find beautiful flowered corners, small streams, little lakes with wooden bridges, green lawns and woods with various types of trees, and fountains where you can catch sight of a rainbow. Within its enclosure are the old Valentino Castle and the medieval village, a faithful reconstruction of 15th-century buildings from Piedmont and the Aosta Valley. The Rocca is the fortified noble residence.
